## I have read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) file. YES ## What kind of change does this PR introduce? Docs update. Style only. ## What is the current behavior? The API keys guide has drifted from `WORD_LIST.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md`. It also carries two defects: - The rotation steps tell you to replace the new key with the compromised one, rather than the reverse. - The secret key caution list opens with "Do not:" but several items read "Never use" and "Do not pass", which inverts them into the opposite instruction. ## What is the new behavior? Word-level edit. No section is added, moved, or reordered, so the restructure in the next PR of this stack lands as a readable set of moved lines. - Fix the reversed rotation instruction. - Rewrite the caution list so every item completes its "Don't:" stem. - Replace the Silicon Valley character names and trailing ellipses in the responsibility table. - Drop italics used for plain emphasis, parenthetical asides, `etc.`, `&`, the lint-flagged "easy", and existential sentence openers. - Replace "since" and "as" used for cause, and future tense used for current product behavior. ## Additional context PR 1 of 4. Base is `master`. ## Manual testing 1. Open [Understanding API keys](https://docs-git-docs-api-keys-style-edit-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/api-keys) on the deploy preview. 2. Read the secret key caution list. Every item completes the "Don't:" stem. 3. Read "What to do if a secret key or `service_role` has been leaked or compromised". The order is: create the new key, then replace the compromised key with it. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Rewritten the API keys guide with clearer wording and improved structure. * Clarified how to access API keys through the Connect dialog and distinguished API keys from Supabase Auth. * Updated explanations of publishable and secret keys, including cautions, security best practices, and steps for responding to leaked keys. * Refined guidance on known limitations and compatibility differences. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
